Who?
A 17-year-old expat who has no idea where she's from but is currently living in Europe. (Yep, all the info you're going to get out of me as to my whereabouts)
And yes, when writing such things as an author profile or filling out one of those 20 million question surveys, I tend to switch between first- and third person. Sorry about that. I know it gets annoying- bad habit.
She also dyes her hair waaaay too often. So often, in fact, that she doesn't really remember her original color except that her mom called it "strawberry blonde", whatever that means. However, she hopes to dye her hair black, or at least very, very dark brown in the next few weeks even though her friends, not to mention parents, will freak.
Loves:
-writing (duh ;)
-reading
-movies (tooootal filmaholic here!)
-doodling during Biology
-music (the Goo Goo Dolls are my favorite band with Evanescence, Maroon 5, Hinder, Jimmy Eat World, Daughtry and Linkin Park all vying for a close second)
-my fluffy orange cat who has a penchant for falling asleep on my knee while I write or do my homework and drooling all over my clothes.
-all things Canadian, especially maple syrup
-pancakes
-chocolate
-Harry Potter - I'm actually hooked on Harry Potter fanfiction (ships I support: D/G (obviously I have a rich imagination), H/G, R/Hr, L/J and the occasional Blaise/Luna fic)
-history, but especially Elizabeth I
-Grey's Anatomy, Gossip Girl, Heroes, and my all time favorite show: FRIENDS (I was SO sad when it ended!)
-accents - especially Australian and Scottish (I 3 Heath Ledger)
-REVIEWS REVIEWS REVIEWWWWWS!!!!
Major Dislikes (hate is such as strong word...)
-the intentional use of "chatspeak" in stories (i.e. "u" "n then she said brb" - MAJOR petpeeve!) or completely wrong grammar (hey, we all screw up but please read your story or excerpt or one-shot through for major errors before you post it!)
-techno music
-homophobes, racists, Neo-Nazis and xenophobes.
-the IB program (seriously, why am I doing this?)
So that's me. Hope you like the stories. I'm new to this whole online-posting/publishing thing and this is the first time I've ever let anybody aside from my two best friends, who I trust above anyone, read my stories. So I'm nervous, therefore please be kind and read and review. Constructive criticism is always appreciated and I do try to incorporate people's suggestions when it comes to my writing - any kind of writing, be it creative or academic (grumble grumble school grumble). And now that I understand the power of reviews, I will definitely leave you a review, too, when I read your stories!
Thanks!!
